CVE-2024-28136
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA local attacker with low privileges can use a command injection vulnerability to gain root privileges due to improper input validation using the OCPP Remote service.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA command injection vulnerability in the OCPP Remote service allows a low-privilege local attacker to execute arbitrary commands and escalate to root privileges due to improper input validation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device modelCheck the physical device label or access the device management interface to confirm the model is one of: Charx Sec 3000, Charx Sec 3050, Charx Sec 3100, or Charx Sec 3150Affected if The device is NOT one of these four models - the CVE does not apply
-
Check the installed firmware versionAccess the device admin interface or use the vendor-provided management tool to view the current firmware version. Compare against the affected range: <= 1.5.1Affected if Firmware version is 1.5.1 or lower - the device falls within the affected version range
-
Verify the OCPP Remote service statusCheck the device services or processes list to determine if the OCPP Remote service is enabled and runningAffected if OCPP Remote service is disabled or not present - the vulnerability cannot be triggered
-
Inspect OCPP configuration for exposed interfacesReview the OCPP service configuration files or web interface settings to identify if remote management or external network access is enabled for the OCPP serviceAffected if OCPP Remote service is exposed to untrusted networks without additional access controls
A user is affected if they have a Charx Sec 3000/3050/3100/3150 device running firmware version 1.5.1 or lower with the OCPP Remote service enabled.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement strict input validation and sanitization for all user-supplied parameters in the OCPP Remote service, preferably using parameterized queries or allowlist validation instead of passing user input directly to system calls.
